Scarlet tried to eat her food and not pay attention to Ivan and the wolf. It was pretty easy because they were talking in wolf, it seemed. Since she didn't know what they were saying, and it gave her a headache to ty and read their lips when they were speaking some other langauge it was easy to ignore them. But when Ivan spoke in English, she smiled, wondering what would be an honor.

Standing, she slowly made her way over to them.

The wolf gave a bow before vanishing into the forest. Ivan turned to find that Scarlet had approached. For a moment, he thought she had overheard, but remembered that he had only spoken a single sentence in english.

Scarlet looked at him before speaking. [color=33ff99]"What was that about?"[/color] She asked hesitantly. She hoped that he'd tell her. She figured that it couldn't be bad, since he'd be 'honored'. But either was if it was or not, she thought that since they were married, no secrets needed to be between them...

Ivan grinned, heading back inside to his dinner. "One of the elder forest creatures is going to stay with us. The Falcon. He'll be staying in Italy when we leave. It's one of the highest honors the forest has to offer. The only greater honor is spending winter with The Bear!" He explained, excited. The falcon was smaller than every other elder creature other than The Rat.

Scarlet followed and her eyebrows rose. [color=33ff99]"'Stay with us'?"[/color] Surely the thing wouldn't be staying in the same hotel room with them.

"That's right!" Ivan answered, grinning. "For two days The Falcon will be staying with us." It hadn't occured to Ivan that Scarlet might have a different opinion on the matter.

Scarlet blinked and sat down in her chair. [color=33ff99]"In our hotel room?"[/color] She forced herself not to frown. [color=33ff99]"Will he also be going places with us and eating with us?"[/color]

Ivan paused. Did he detect anger, perhaps? He brushed the thought aside; She was probably just curious. "He WILL be staying in our room, but he will certainly not be going out with us. He will bring or catch his own food, as is the custom." That said, Ivan took another bite.

Scarlet just stared at him, her food growing cold. [color=33ff99]"And how is this supposed to be an 'honor'? We're going on a honeymoon, Ivan. This is supposed to be a private time between us. Not something to share with some....bird."[/color]

Ivan was able to keep smiling. "It's only for two days. At the end of which he'll grant us his blessing. It's lucky to even see him, let alone be given his blessing." Ivan answered. By this point he had gotten lost in his explanation and forgot about dinner.
